Hi everyone. I recently bought myself a pair of used RS-1 and currently running them with my stereo amp CA Azur 740A. The specs that I have found are the following:   It is a high output op amp circuit which is Class AB Frequency Response (-0.05dB): 10Hz to 30kHz THD 1kHz (80kHz BW)...

Hi,   Does anyone know how many holes are vented on the driver in the RS1. I heard different things, from none, to four. Does it depend on when if was made? If someone who has an RS1 could shed some light on this it would be great. Thanks   Andrew

I'm located in the UK and have used the headphone output on my Naim Uniti for listening.  It's time to get a decent headphone amp so can anyone  recommend a quality headphone amp up to the £1000 mark (give or take a little).  I'm looking at the Graham Slee Ultra Linear - any others I should be...

Hi there, I recently fell in love with the idea of portable sound and decided to try out a pair of Grado RS1 which I don't regret the least. They are wonderful with a lot of the acoustic music that I listen to.   However, they are a bit too moderate in the base region when it comes to my...

Hi,I just recieved my new Grado RS-1 today,serial number # 10 455,and i have noticed that they don't have the ''button'' markked RS-1 in the middle if the cups.   Now,my question is,are all the new RS-1 ''buttonless'', or are my headphones,new old stock.   Thanks in advance

Hey All, is this a pink driver?   Thanks Massimiliano

I feel myself being drawn back into headphones again and am now curious about the PS500.   I've had both the RS1 and HF2 in the past (preferring the RS) so I know what they sound like.  Can someone provide a brief description of the PS500 using the aforementioned two cans as references?  ...

Maybe its an offtopic question but I'm really mad with this turnable cable on my grado headphone.  There is a chance to put in order. I tried to fix with a clip , press with books ,... nothing works. I don't know how to dismount the headphone neither.   This how it looks the serial cable...

These are supposed to be one of the VERY FIRST RUN of 200 RS1s. What VINTAGE CATEGORY would these fit into...               BROWN HEADBAND     PINK DRIVERS  

The RS1s kind of fell of the map for me, which doesn't really mean anything given how slow it takes for a headphone purchase to go from an idea to a reality for me.  From what I've read, it seems like I'd be paying a couple hundred dollars for some very slight tweaks to give it a less aggressive...

I just got in a fantastic pair of Grados RS1 phones, (not i), and call me crazy but between the original pads and the quarter-modded sennheiser pads I prefer the original ones. The soundstage is a bit smaller, yes, but it seems like the highs are more blaring with the quarter-modded pads. What...

I turned on my MAD EAR+ as usual with my RS-1 plugged in, suddenly a scary "POP" came out from RS-1 I put on the RS-1 immediately, the right driver is gone, farewell my beloved RS-1 #1059, RIP

A couple of my headphones require recabling or retermination, and although they should be fairly straightforward jobs for someone who vaguely knows what they're doing (ie not me), I'd rather pay someone else for peace of mind, especially as I'm thinking of selling one or both pairs (obviously...

Must be a scam :-) http://www.e-commerce366.com/Grado-RS1-Reference-Series-Headphones-p-90.html

I can't quite decide between these three headphones here for Alternative/classic/hard rock music. I have not tried any of these headphones, but I do own some HD 555s at the moment. While they are pretty comfortable (Usually can wear for 5 + hours without any soreness around ears), they do have a...

I have just purchased some Grado RS-1s an upgrade from 225is and at first was a little disappointed, some songs the vocals seemed distant , bass was good  and they were very bright until I switched  to flat pads which has made a big difference. I have a feeling though I am not using them to...

Coming from Grado RS1-land...   I have had a K701 now for a week and its been a lot of fun re-discovering all the hidden nuances in my favorite CDs and live recordings.  My 701 is well used from ~2007, serial number in the 11000 range.  The "bass shy" era if you will.  Its a very dry and...

Can anybody tell me if the RS1i and the RS2i both come with buttons on the grill as well as without the buttons?   Thanks for any help with this.

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

I got a pair of these in yesterday. After listening last night and for the past few hours, the first thing I have to say is: whoa! While it's still too early to call this my new favorite headphone (my K701 is currently out of commission and my AD2000 is gone), I can say that the RS1 is the...

Intro So, the Grado RS1. I got this headphone primarily to review the Eddie Current EC/SS amp (still in progress, and will soon appear on the virtual pages of StereoMojo), but also to check it out and see what the Grado woodies were all about. Thought I would share my findings. Equipment...

The last time I owned the RS1, I had no AD2000 to compare it to (the AD2K had been stolen so I went without them for a time). Well I recently went and got the RS1 again, this one of course the latest one without the buttons (my previous one had the buttons), and this time, I have the AD2000...

Hi,      I am sure this happened before but I am not asking where to buy the earpads.  All I ask your advise is where to buy a non melting one (third parties also okay).  I just hated those Ashes on my ears.....   Thx Cowby

i posted this earlier in the wrong section and have since asked for it to be removed. i am reposting here, sorry for the redundancy!   hello all. i am going to recable my grado RS1's with a damaged cable and have hit a snag right form the start. how do you remove the driver holders from the...

hello all. i am going to recable my grado RS1's with a damaged cable and have hit a snag right form the start. how do you remove the driver holders from the cups? i am referring to the big metal ring that goes around the cups, which doesn't release like the plastic versions of the other models...
